A Wicked Pop-Up Tag for Frilly & Funkie

Hi everyone! I hope you're in the mood for some wickedly spooky Halloween inspiration! This is the second week of the Frilly and Funkie challenge that I'm hosting. The theme I chose was 'Something Wicked' and I'm loving all the entries! This week it's the Funkies' turn to share our projects. For mine, I decided I wanted to use one of Tim Holtz's vintage relative photos to turn into a witch. The new Regions Beyond paper pad has a whole page of them to choose from!

The front panel was created by layering papers from the same paper pad. The spiders, 31, and witch hat are all Remnant Rubs. I tore the edges of the paper and then sponged on the new Ground Espresso Distress ink. I love the burned look it creates! On the top I added a length of bias tape that I dyed to match using Spiced Marmalade and Rusty Hinge Distress inks. One of the new charms from The Funkie Junkie store hangs from a trinket pin.

I haven't done a pop-up tag in ages and thought it would work great with this tag. I cut the tag from black Kraft Core'dinations using Tim's large tag die, following my original pop-up tag tutorial found HERE. I cut the pop-up element using Karen Burniston's Lucy Label Pop Up (available from Elizabeth Craft Designs), trimmed it, and added it to the folded tag. After that was in place, I added more papers, an adorable stamped owl, and I was done!

You can find all the supplies I used (other than the Pop it Ups die) at The Funkie Junkie Boutique via the links below.

I love this tag. You nailed my style of things. I am new to this mixed media, ATC and tag craze but have been stocking up on supplies to try my own.Love the detail and the old black and white, really adds the Halloween touch! Thanks for sharing~Victoria, BCCanada

Superb, as always, Shelly! So many wonderful details and now I've got to try the Ground Espresso, haven't even broken the seal on mine yet! I always love your pop ups and the little owl is adorable! You totally owned the challenge - thanks so much for sharing this fabulous piece with our visitors over at Frilly and Funkie!

This is super duper awesome! I have ever seen a pop up tag but sure am glad I did. Genius and your wicked lady is wowzers, very fantabulous hat as well. Love the layers and papers. Gorgeously distressed.
